This course helps students to progress onto degree courses, apprenticeships, or employment. It is suitable for students considering a career as a nurse, midwife, social worker, teacher, health visitor, paramedic, counselor, and many more health-related professions. Single A Level: BTEC Level 3 Extended Certificate Students have the opportunity to take the BTEC Level 3 Extended Certificate in Health and Social Care which is the equivalent in size to one A level. It is for students interested in learning about the health and social care sector alongside other fields of study, probably with a view to progression to a wide range of degree courses, not necessarily the health or social care sector. Students studying this qualification will study four mandatory units over the two years covering the following content areas: • Human Life Span Development (these units are exam-based) • Supporting Individuals with Additional Needs (this unit is coursework-based). • Working in Health and Social Care • Meeting Individual Needs
Students don't have to study Health and Social Care previously but students must have five or more GCSEs at grade 4 or above. A grade 4 in English Language is crucial.
Both courses are assessed by 60% coursework and 40% examination and students are required to undergo an Enhanced Disclosure Application excepted under the Exceptions Orders to the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974.
